"Friday, July 1, 1898 was a red-letter day for me," Gifford Pinchot wrote in his autobiography, Breaking New Ground. "On that day I became chief of the little old Forestry Division" (Pinchot 1998, p. 136). Always the optimist, he "was highly enthusiastic and deeply pleased" with his new job in the Department of Agriculture, in good measure because the secretary ofAgriculture, James Wilson, had given the young man a free hand. "I could appoint my own assistants," Pinchot scribbled inhis diary after interviewing for the position, "do what kind of work I chose, and not fear any interference from him."
